About Me |
|
| calmer than I used to be (since having a stroke, I mean), still a "perfectionist", picky about language... - Drummer, percussionist, electronic music maker, "singer". - music history: Blinding Headache, Information, V-Effect, Red Dark Sweet, Broken Box, Fish & Roses, Run On, Les Batteries, Timber, Sue Garner & Rick Brown... - married to Sue (her site: http://www.suegarner.com/music_discography.htm ) - I believe that cats are not just funny/pleasant, they are admirable, the true superior beings. Our current menagerie: Duster, Easily and Frukwan (RIP Item and George) You Know Yer Indie. Let's Sub-Categorize. You're Avante Garde Indie. You listen to abstract music like free-jazz and Krautrock. You drink too much coffee and you scare the fuck out of the rest of us. We're afraid to call you pretentious because we know that we all just don't get it. There are few of you out there, and most of you will probably die soon. Take this quiz ! Quizilla | Join| Make A Quiz | More Quizzes | Grab Code What American accent do you have? (Best version so far) Neutral You're not Northern, Southern, or Western, you're just plain -American-. Your national identity is more important than your local identity, because you don't really have a local identity. You might be from the region in that map, which is defined by this kind of accent, but you could easily not be. Or maybe you just moved around a lot growing up.

My Interests |
|
| Music, of course. I don't have as much time to listen as I wish but I'm a music lover... As a maker: Plogue Bidule, Ableton Live, Five12 Numerology (all of which are music-making programs) and acoustic things that rattle and go boom. Labor/Union matters (I'm a member of 1199SEIU and a delegate at my workplace). (almost) All the foods... Progressive movements (currently thinking a lot about what's been going on in France and the evolving South American situations as in Venezuela, Bolivia, Argentina...). |
